(1911) — An extra fine trav- 

 eler and keeper; runs a 

 shade deeper than Enchant- 

 ress in Winter, with a longer, stiffer stem, and produces 

 equally well, and positively will not split; expected to dis- 

 place Enchantress. $6.00 per 100; $50.00 per 1,000.

IllOriOSa darker than Pink Delight, without the salmon

 tinuous; size, large with full center; form, very perfect.

 producing fine flowers as early as September 1. The leader 

 in its shade of pink. $4.00 per 100; $30.00 per 1,000. 



This variety Is in a class quite by itself; 

 the color is brilliant salmon pink; the 

 form could not be more perfect; very 

 Iree, grand keeper; its one peculiarity of being a "fussy" 

 variety in the cutting bench will always make it high-priced, 

 but the cut blooms more than offset this expense. $4.00 per 

 100; $35.00 per 1,000.

 shade; size, 3% inches, an early and
